i cannot understand how you can cut medicare $716 billion for current recipients of medicare. you point out, well, we're putting some back, we're going to get a better prescription program. that's $1 for every $15 you've cut. they're smart enough to know that's not a good trait. i want to take that $716 billion you've cut and put it back into medicare. by the way, we can include a prescription program if we need to improve in. but the idea of cutting $716 billion from medicare to be able to balance the additional cost of obamacare is a mistake. and with regards to young people coming along, i've got proposals to make sure that medicare and social security are there for them without any question. >> first of all, i think i.t. is important for governor romney to present his plans to he says will only affect folks in the future. and the essence of the plan is that he would turn medicare into a voucher program. it's called premium support, but it's understood to be about the program. his running mate -- >> and you don't support that? >> i don't, and let me explain why -- >> again,

part d so that medicare people could negotiate the prices for medicare prescription cost instead of keeping that large going to pharmaceutical companies. that increased our deficit by almost $1 trillion. maybe if we can negotiate more, maybe we can have more money left for infrastructure and schools and teacher pay and police officers. that is where we need it. it is not about regulation. i was looking how to make a profit. we overcome the obstacles we find. frome so far removed reality. i don't think you know what the small business is a less it is a hedge fund. this was a difficult thing for me. i was going to ask about the insuring the treasury bonds or why you carve out the spousal exemption for why you took $5 million from sheldon adelson. this is from my son. last year when you and the president went on a budget standoff that threaten to shut down the government, he voted to continue paying members of congress. you voted against a bill which would have been short the members of the armed services continue to get paid. how could you in good conscience vote to continue your own
